For the past three months, LbD has been investigating the government’s plan to forcibly send asylum seekers to Rwanda, a cornerstone of the Prime Minister’s “Stop The Boats” policy.

This undercover video records a meeting taking place at one of London's most exclusive gentlemen's club, at a lunch between the Rwandan ambassador to the UK, the chairman and founder of an international public relations firm that works with the Rwandan government and a Malaysian business man. The Malaysian business man is a LbD reporter.

Assessment centres stop the boats overnight.

They need the symbolism of the boats to imply we're being 'invaded'.
